Launch of PoSL: Stake BR and Earn veBR Emissions

TL;DR

Bedrock DAO is launching PoSL (Proof of Stake Liquidity), allowing users to stake BR and earn veBR emissions. There will be no hard locks for veBR holders —just a warm-up period before they can queue for unstaking. Early participants in the soft launch will share a one-time special veBR emissions pool, which will be distributed as a single allocation during the claim period. The longer you stake, the more voting power you accumulate over time.

Key Highlights

1. High Initial Staking APY – Early adopters benefit from high emissions (up to 400%), making PoSL one of the most attractive staking opportunities at launch.

2. No Hard Locks – Users have flexibility with a 4-week period before they can queue for unstaking, instead of being subject to rigid lock-ups. Once unstaking begins, a 2-week cooldown period follows before BR tokens become withdrawable.

3. Special Emissions for Early Adopters – Those who stake during Soft Launch Period will share a one-time special veBR emissions pool.

Increasing Voting Power Over Time – The earlier you stake, the more veBR you accumulate, strengthening governance influence and maximizing future rewards.

Background: What is PoSL?

PoSL introduces a novel staking mechanism designed to enhance liquidity and governance efficiency. By staking BR, participants earn veBR, which not only provides emissions but also increases governance power. Unlike traditional staking models, PoSL incorporates a flexible warm-up period instead of fixed-term locks, allowing users to gradually integrate into the system while ensuring stability and fair rewards distribution.

What's Next?

Following the PoSL launch, additional bribe markets will be introduced, allowing veBR holders to offer incentives to direct emissions toward specific pools, further optimizing yield strategies. This enables veBR holders to maximize their governance power and optimize emissions. Furthermore, new gauges will be deployed, expanding staking opportunities and ensuring sustainable reward mechanisms.

Step-by-Step Guide to Staking PoSL

1. Go to the official staking portal at gov.bedrockdao.com/staking

2. Connect your wallet using the button in the top-right corner of the page.

3. Enter the amount of BR you want to stake. Once ready, click the "Stake" button and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

4. Once the staking is confirmed, you’ll see your position listed under the “Your veTokens” section. Each stake is represented as a veToken — with details such as Token ID, staked amount, multiplier, staking age, and status.
